Re: 8th AF B-17s/B-24s to MTO
15th Air Force was established on November 1, 1943. As far as I am aware there were no B-17s or B-24s, or such units, transferred to 15th from 8th AF. All such aircraft and units came directly from the U.S. The three extra bomb groups used in the Aug 1, 1943 Ploesti raid were from 8th AF, and were probably temporarily assigned to 9th AF.

Enjoy!

Frank.
